Children's Lack of Freedom




Children in England are now so constrained,
All sense of adventure from them has been drained;
They can’t spend their days out of doors on their own,
And never till adult be just left alone.
No chance to explore and to learn to be wise,
And cope with all problems that may well arise;
No chance to play with no adult in tow,
And choose what to do, and as well where to go;
No chance to create a world where make-believe,
Forms quite a large part of the life that they weave;
No chance to run free and to make their own fun,
Enjoying the hours spent outside in the sun;
Instead they’re hunched over computers or phones,
All doing the same, like a series of clones;
Not growing in strength as they daily explore
The world all around them and learn more and more.
